Are cabanas available to rent on Castaway Cay? I cannot find anything on your web site. A recent Disney cruise guest told me that she reserved and paid for a cabana when on a cruise that she and her family took in March 2016.”

Ahoy, Dennis! It sounds like you are doing your homework for your upcoming Disney Cruise! Castaway Cay will be a highlight of your sailing when your Disney ship docks there next month! Disney has thought of everything on their exclusive private island including the very popular cabanas. These open-air spaces are often booked up very quickly when Guests are able to reserve their onboard experiences and Port Adventures online, which is either 120, 105, 90 or 75 days prior to departure depending on the number of cruises you have taken with Disney Cruise Line. If any are available for your sailing, you will be able to find out by logging in to your cruise reservation and looking under Port Adventures for Castaway Cay under "My Cruise Activities." You can only see availability once you have completed your Online Check-In. If there aren't any listed, you'll want to continue to check back because a cancellation is not out of the question. Guests have until three days prior to departure to cancel online, so check often around the four to five day mark. Once you are aboard stop by the Port Adventure Desk as soon as possible to add your name to a wait list if you don't have any luck before you arrive. You'll be happy to know there is plenty of shade under the palm trees and large umbrellas along with lots of beach chairs and lounges, so your day on the island will be very enjoyable no matter what! Thank you again for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel and good luck! Nancy
